Annotation:
The name was previously cited by IPNI as authored by R. Br. ex Gray. Message from K. Gandhi (22 March 2017): “Both ING and I asserted that there is no internal evidence that S.F. Gray authored the article [as asserted by Mabberley in Blumea 44(2): 343. 1999]. Although the genus name is ascribed to Robert Brown, the genus description was given by an anonymous author. ING chose to cite the authorship as: R. Brown ex Anonymous. However, I chose: R. Brown ex Thomson. This is because Thomson was cited as the editor of the journal. Therefore, the genus name authorship is construed as: R.Brown ex Thomson. In a pers. comm. (21 Mar 2017), David Mabberley agreed on the genus name authorship].
